Dig in: Beaver Twp. group seeks park volunteers

NORTH LIMA — Now that spring has arrived and warmer weather is just around the corner, Beaver Township’s Friends of the Park group is looking to get to work.

The group, made up of area residents who donate their time and energy to cleanup and beautification efforts in the township, is looking for individuals or groups willing to help with various activities through spring and summer.

“We accept any help we can get,” said Fran Osborne, a member of the group. “The nice thing is that volunteers can give as much time as they want or as little time as they can to what we’re doing.”

The group was established last year to provide support for the Beaver Township Park Board, which oversees activities in the township’s parks and at its nature preserve.

Projects include planting flowers and trees and decorating for holiday activities. The group also meets periodically to plan various fund-raising efforts. Members have gathered to create and sell crafts with the proceeds going to activities sponsored by the park board.
